@TomE thanks for jumping in and reposting the pics from the other thread re. @Matt question. @JP__FOX It was utter madness today. Nearly as bad as "Car Freitag" - if the weather will be as nice today it will be insane next week. Btw last weekend of the season! I would love to show you the car...

Posting from another traffic jam on very busy Ring that just got temporarily closed when I arrived. 😑 Here is the PPF'ed area, its as far as I have seen the only section on the car that has factory PPF.

I found my GoPro suction mount and am about to had towards a very famous region in the mid-west of Germany to celebrate the 2nd to last weekend of tourist driving. Not going to bash her around as I still have to keep it below 4000rpm. But I'll try to capture as much different noise of the car as...

Oh, sorry I may have missed the question ☺️ So my car being delivered by a german dealer did not have the extra options that UK buyers can sign up to from factory. But the area between the rear wheels and the doors is PPF'ed from factory. I'll take a photo later. I also asked my dealer for a...

The blue really pops nicely! Seemingly also becoming one that can't be bought straightaway anymore. Did you have to wait for it? One of the nicest toolwatches and a very good "daily". Congratulations! Nothing wrong about a trusty Skoda also! 👍🏻

🙄😅

Everybody who drove the demo cars that were not final production spec: I think these might have had the old gearbox setup from the Evora/Exige generation. In my Emira the gearshift is 15-20% improved to my Evora GT430. And I did 20.000km in it so far so I believe I know what it feels like. Emira...

It sounds very good and to me surprisingly refreshing for having pretty much the same drive train as my Evora. Having said that the supercharge dominates the sound over the exhaust tone. You get a lot of burble when going of the accelerator in sport and track mode. No bangs when shifting under...

Actually, the car is 100% rattle free! 🙌🏻 And I won't risk it, so ... no I won't try pulling it off. 😅 But to make up for it a photo from the ambient light in the gearshifter:

Rear is 10.5x20 ET 54 It was not easy to get a sharp photo, my phone not getting it in focus. But its definitely ET 54. And for the ride height debate. I drove by the dealer today and still had the measurement tape for the wheels with me. But I forgot to measure my own car on the tour...

Absolutely! The ride is sublime and definitely bearable. Most comfortable but sportive ride I experienced so far. Better than Evora 400.

Ha! No, I even brought a ruler to start measuring away. In fact, it was pretty easy. I'll have to take another snap that has the ET for the rear wheel on it.

New or old Pelagos? I adore it! Pictures please! I personally like the slightly bigger, old model a bit more. The clasp mechanism with the fine adjust is one of the best I know (Doxa comes close). But tbh my impression was that in comparison the PAM feels a bit like a overpriced piece of fashion...

@Leonard Exactly, bargain is obviously relative but the quality of the watch at this pricetag is hard to find anywhere else. Even at list price. I personally am not a chrono type, but the one with the moon phase is tempting. But since I got myself the "standard" FF (titanium version) for my...

@lion shf I know people who daily Elises - so sure, why not. You can daily the Emira! If it makes sense economicaly is probably also a personal decision. Driving it every day is possible if the luggage space and 2-seat limitation is not an issue for you. I personally always feel a bit weird...

What I was refering to is that (at least thats how it was done in Germany) you had to bring the car back to the dealer for a first, free service after I believe 1500km (?). Part of this service was that your driving profile was read from the ECU and this data was send back to Lotus, who were...

I see that this ride height thing is a controversial topic. I didn't take photos of me comparing the height but I took these at the dealer. Blue car and yellow car with red calipers are customer cars on sport suspension: This is my car on tour suspension. The difference is hard to tell on...

@CoryC Thanks! Yes, very much so! I got tour suspension because I want to use the car more than the Evora GT430 which always felt a bit too dialed in for my preference. Initial feeling - very happy! Yes, the car is a manual. Some more details about this already on the introduction thread :)...

@Magicman Woah! The 126600 is next on my list! Amazing! PAM Submersible is the one of my collection that probably has to go. I usually don't sell pieces but I don't wear it enough to justify keeping it. @Leonard You should get one! But even though you appreciated the AD experience, Blancpains...

I know many of you are eagerly waiting for news and maybe I can give a little bit back to this community of likeminded enthusiasts after all the months it has kept the waiting somewhat entertaining. 😅 While I have already posted some impressions on my introduction thread, maybe I can provide...

Woah that watch thread got busy really quickly! Awesome timepieces! @Leonard didn't know Longines makes high beat movements! Excellent choice. My hunting ground are dive watches, the last addition to the collection just two weeks ago as a "keep forever" watch. And since watches store memories...

Yes, I also never heard of these. The manager of the dealer (sorry... "agent" 🙄) said that it's even RFID shielded to prevent capturing of the keys radio frequency! So its supposed to be safe to have it just standing around at home. Neat! Not sure if dealer bonus or standard delivery merchandise...

I am happy to announce that I was able to pick up the car today! It is still so surreal but I can already say that I totally adore the car! I was surprised that I got a nice little giftbox with a color sample in the Emira shape (and the key inside it), together with a carbon cutout for the...
